"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me, I know nothing!..." Shu'er ran out as if she was stimulated by something. Gu Yunru didn't have time to chase her. Seeing how panicked she was, he knew something big must have happened.

"Tingya! Lord Chu." Gu Yunru arrived at the Chu residence and found that all the servants had fallen in a pool of blood. There was not even a living person in the yard. Thinking of this, she realized that something bad had happened. She immediately walked into the house, but found that Chu Ziqiao was hugging Tingya tightly, and both of them were no longer breathing...

"Tingya!" Gu Yunru's voice rose a few notches, but it was no longer possible to call back the souls of the two. They seemed to have passed away in the middle of the night yesterday, while Chu Ziqiao held Tingya tightly and would not let go at all.

Seeing this, Gu Yunru was furious and did not even bother to find the doctor in the city to discuss saving people. Instead, he rushed out of the Chu Mansion with his only weapon.

She was running on the deserted street and saw a miserable and panicked figure. She quickly took out a crossbow and shot an arrow at the man's leg. Shu'er staggered and fell to the ground. She looked at the arrow in her leg with a look of great pain on her face.

"ah……"

Gu Yunru ignored her howling and walked forward to pinch her neck fiercely, staring at her with bloodshot eyes and said: "What on earth did you do to Brother Chu and Tingya?!"

"I... I don't know, I really don't know..." Shu'er uttered these unclear words reluctantly. Gu Yunru didn't believe her and took her to the restaurant. However, there was no one in the restaurant. The waiter and the owner had already returned to their hometown to seek refuge.

"If you don't tell me today, you'll never leave the capital!" Gu Yunru stabbed the dagger hard on the table, trying to threaten her with it.

Shu'er sat opposite her feeling guilty and panicked, and said with tears in her eyes: "It really wasn't me who did it... I don't know why there were so many bugs!..." Shu'er was so anxious that she couldn't help crying, but this didn't move Gu Yunru at all.

"If you don't say anything!" Before Gu Yunru finished speaking, he grabbed her hand and inserted the knife into her fingers.

"Ah...no." Shu'er shook her head hurriedly, and begged for mercy softly: "Okay, I said don't hurt me..." Shu'er's submissive attitude made her relax her vigilance, and Shu'er took out a box from her sleeve.

"The story begins with this box." Shu'er pursed her thin lips, lowered her head guiltily, and prepared to open the exquisite little box in front of her.

"Then tell me." Gu Yunru's patience was exhausted. Shu'er took a deep breath and said, "You'll know if you come closer." After that, Gu Yunru listened to her and moved closer. Shu'er opened the box, and a cloud of smoke penetrated her eyes. Gu Yunru's face was in pain and tears were streaming.

"You..." Gu Yunru's eyes were blurry and when she woke up again, she was already in an antique boudoir.

"Miss Ashin, you're finally awake." Shen Aojun ordered people to serve her and also made a few bowls of clear soup.

"Why am I here?" Gu Yunru was completely confused at the moment, and his mind was a mess, as if a lot of things were stuffed into it.

"This is a restaurant. You just fainted downstairs. I saw tears coming out of your eyes, so I got a basin of clean water to wash them for you. Do your eyes hurt less now?" Shen Aojun asked softly. Gu Yunru propped herself up, leaned on the edge of the bed, and looked at her gratefully.

"Thank you, Miss Shen. If it weren't for Miss Shen, I'm afraid..."

"You must not say these words. They are all what I should do. I just don't know where His Highness has gone and why he hasn't come back all night. I'm really worried about him." Shen Aojun is worried about Rong Zhen. Everyone in the world knows that she is worried to the core. Looking at her pair of dark and clear eyes revealing worry, Gu Yunru actually felt ashamed of herself.

"Miss Shen, don't worry, the prince will be fine. Now that the prince has changed his decadent style, he will definitely lead the army to repel all those monsters from the foreign country." Shen Aojun was shocked, her face full of fatigue, and she couldn't help sobbing, covering her face.

"What's wrong, Miss Shen? Did I say something wrong?" Gu Yunru hated to see girls crying. Looking at her pair of pure and innocent eyes, they seemed like jade dipped in ink, cold as ice.

"It's nothing, it's just that the prince wouldn't listen to anyone else's advice, but he listened to Miss Axin's words. I wonder if Miss Axin and the prince knew each other in their previous life."

Shen Aojun couldn't help but make a joke, and his two black eyebrows on his fair face were slightly frowned. After hearing her words, he felt a little at a loss and smiled awkwardly.

"By the way, I went to the Chu Mansion before coming here. The princess is now..." Gu Yunru couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of this. Her eyes, which were as vast as stars, revealed a sad look.

"I already know about it. I have asked people to bury the bodies of the two. I didn't expect... that so many people would lose their lives in the city recently."

This was something Shen Aojun had never expected. Gu Yunru sighed deeply, "Yes, by the way, how much money does Miss Shen have in her treasury now?"

"There are probably millions or tens of millions of silver in the treasury. I haven't asked anyone to take care of these, but business has obviously not been very good recently." There have been disasters recently, such as drought and locust plagues, as if those foreign monsters were causing trouble, which has caused a lot of hardships for Da Qi. The past ten years have been a decade of dire straits for the people.

"Can Miss Shen please embezzle some of this money? I want to help those people."

"Of course, I can't spend all the money by myself. Besides, it's not mine. The prince is also happy to share the silver with the people, but the prince always says that we should be careful about the method and can't just give it away like that."

Gu Yunru nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Rong Zhen had indeed understood what she said. The art of giving alms should be done with methods instead of just saving the people from dire straits.

After resting for two hours, Gu Yunru felt that she could move freely and was full of energy. After getting out of bed, she dressed up and tied her black hair into two big braids, adding some purple and green ribbons in the middle.

"Miss Ashin, where are you going?" Shen Aojun brought people to visit her but saw that she had already dressed neatly and didn't know where she was going.

"It's like this. I have to borrow Miss Shen's power over the treasury to collect some herbs and bribe some doctors to treat the people who were injured by the insect infestation."
